Abstract

This essay focuses on the contemporary migrant musical practices of mobile Mexican DJ sound systems, or sonidos. Operating on both sides of the US-Mexico border, sonidos use the DJ mix as a form of musical communication and community that both moves between the United States and Mexico and plays a role in shaping cross-border migrant politics and activism through what the essay explores as the “aesthetics of allá.”
